The hotel may look very aged, but the room is adequately sized with a spacious bathroom. It is not centrally located, and the price reflects that. Overall, it's a good value.

4/10 Fair

The staff was helpful. The bed was ok. The room smelled of cigarettes. It was dark with all the lights on. The wifi was barely usable. It was very inconvenient to get to. 20 min to any subway.

2/10 Poor

Unless you are a local, don't stay.
I am very disappointed, the hotel is hot and in a less than safe area. None of the staff speak English. The reviews you see on hotels.com are VERY misleading. The wifi is non existent and the "A/C" is a fan that blows hot air around. I was only able to bear one night and my wife and I had to move to a different hotel closer to the city center. We were told that this hotel is for locals. Not for tourists, so please bear that in mind! The price is good, but you're paying for what you will get. Poor room, poor a/c, poor wifi, and poor communication.

OK for a couple of nights. Reasonably clean. Very dark rooms. Good water pressure. A bit rundown. You can find better for about the same very nearby.

Very very good hotel and cheap
It is a very good hotel for the money. Room is perfect size. Bathroom is good. Staff don't speak English but that's not a problem really. First I thought it was hard to get to, but the metrobus drives very near. The area is safe.. Some told me it was close to Tepito and therefore unsafe (probably the reason for the low price), but the hotel is not located there and because it's close you will see police guarding the area more often. I felt hundred percent safe.

Universal is chill
It’s a cool convenient spot. I like the set up of privacy in the way the building interior is setup.
